Spinach Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach and set aside. (You should have about 1 cup of prepped spinach.) Line a plate with paper towels.
• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the red-pepper flakes. Fold in the peas and reserved spinach, being sure to break up the spinach to help it distribute evenly. Add the flour, cheese, herbs, lemon zest and baking powder, and fold to combine evenly.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high. Add 4 (1/4-cup) scoops of the fritter mixture into the hot oil and press them down into 1/4-inch-thick patties. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared plate to drain; season with salt.
• Repeat with the remaining vegetable mixture and oil as necessary. Garnish fritters with additional herbs and serve with yogurt.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the spinach, onion, eggs, the flour and cumin; season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a frying pan. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the spinach batter into the oil. Cook the fritters until crisp and browned, about 2 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Whisk the chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cumin seeds, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Add 2/3 cup water and whisk until smooth. Add the onion, chickpeas, spinach and ginger to the batter and mix to combine.
• Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees. Working in batches, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter into the oil (do not crowd the pan). Cook until lightly golden, about 2 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Cool slightly, then gently press each fritter into a small disk, about 1/3 inch thick.
• Return the fritters to the hot oil and fry until crisp and golden brown, about 1 more minute. Season with salt and serve with chutney.

Steps:

• Trim stems from spinach and wash. Steam spinach in a large pot until wilted. Cool, and chop with a knife.Drain chopped spinach well. in a large mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, eggs and breadcrumbs, use enough breadcrumbs so it will form into patties. Form the patties with your hands, and fry in the oil at a medium heat, turning as necessary until golden brown. Drain on paper towels,sprinkle lightly with salt if desired, serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of grated cheese.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the spinach. Cook until thoroughly wilted, then drain well in a colander and cool.
• Squeeze out as much water as possible and transfer spinach to a cutting board. Using the back of a large knife, pound the spinach repeatedly to break down the fibers in the stalks and leaves. When the spinach has a mashed appearance, chop coarsely. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the eggs and mix well. Stir in the salt, pepper, ginger and cinnamon.
• Using a food processor, or by hand, finely chop the dates and currants. Add to the spinach mixture and stir until blended. Mix in * cup bread crumbs and allow to sit for 2 to 3 minutes. The mixture should be thick enough to shape into balls about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. If necessary, add more bread crumbs to obtain the right consistency. Make 24 balls.
• Place a wide, deep pan over medium heat and add enough oil to come about 1 1/2 inches up the side of the pan. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make a batter by mixing together the flour and beer, stirring until very smooth.
• When the oil is shimmering, dip a spinach ball in the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the ball in the oil. It should begin to fry immediately, turning light golden brown in 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining balls and batter, adjusting heat as necessary. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve hot.
